Matthew 11:2 When John heard in prison what Christ was doing, he sent his disciples 3 to ask him, "Are you the one who was to come, or should we expect someone else?" 4 Jesus replied, "Go back and report to John what you hear and see: 5 The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor. 6 Blessed is the man who does not fall away on account of me." 7 As John's disciples were leaving, Jesus began to speak to the crowd about John: "What did you go out into the desert to see? A reed swayed by the wind? 8 If not, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? No, those who wear fine clothes are in kings' palaces. 9 Then what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. 10 This is the one about whom it is written: " `I will send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way before you.' 11 I tell you the truth: Among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist; yet he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
Have you ever wondered if what you are doing is right? Of any importance? Is it worth the effort?
John the Baptists could have been thinking this. He had come to call people to turn back to God to prepare them for the Messiah. His strong opinions about Kind Herod's sin had led him into prison. Now he was there he was wondering if Jesus really was the Messiah. Perhaps he expected Jesus to defeat the Romans and release him from prison. John's disciples go and ask Jesus if he is the Messiah and he answers by telling John what he already knew. That Jesus was healing people, raising the dead and preaching good news. These were references to Isaiah 35:5f & 61:1. Both of these passages look to the judgement of God to come, 35:4, 61:2. So it is as if Jesus was saying to John and others, "God's judgement will come. Do not be put off by any presuppositions you have about the Messiah. Trust in me."
Jesus then uses the Old Testament to show that John came to prepare the way for Jesus. John was steadfast, lived simply, and spoke the words of God. Even though he was unique those who will follow have a greater privilege than him. They will see and know the revelation of God in Jesus. His life, death resurrection and ascension.
At times we might have questioned if being a Christian is worth it. When we know God's revelation in Christ we will be blessed if we do not fall away. We can rejoice in the knowledge of his resurrection power and hope.
I would like you to imagine that you hear a hammering on your front door early one morning. Standing there are three men. Although they are wearing no uniform they claim to be police officers. They tell you that they belong to the drugs squad and have had a tip off that you are growing something suspicious in your greenhouse.
What is the first thing that you do ?
(a) Ask them if they have been washed in the blood of the lamb ?
(b) Refuse them entry, suspecting this is a ploy from your arch-rival Ted Tichmarsh who fears that you will take the 'Best Chrysanthemum' prize at the local show.
(c) Ask them for some proof of identity and a search warrant before you will let them into your premises ?
(d) Invite them in and ask them if they would like to sample one of your home made cigarettes ?
The first part of this passage concerns the answer to the question "Who is Jesus ?" This was posed by John the Baptist. This is an appropriate question as we approach Christmas, because if Jesus was not the Christ, then, like many, we can throw ourselves into the partying , the drinking, the eating to excess without a second thought about it's significance.
John would have known about the miraculous conception of himself and his relative Jesus. He had baptised Jesus in the Jordan thinking that he was the Messiah. He had prophesied that Jesus would baptise with the Holy Spirit and with fire, bringing God's judgement to the unrepentant ( 3:11-16 ).
Verse 2, John heard in prison what Christ was doing. He had been imprisoned for denouncing the marriage of Herod who had taken his brother Philip's wife for himself (14:3f.). John had heard about the teaching, healings, and miracles of Jesus but was uncertain that this Jesus really was the Christ. Perhaps he expected that Jesus would immediately declare that he was the Messiah, lead a popular uprising to oust the Romans and free him from prison. After all, if he was the Messiah, he would have had all of the power of God at his disposal. Also, Jesus and his disciples didn't fast ( 9:14 ) and mixed with the irreligious ( 9:9ff ), behaviour that you might not expect from the Messsiah. Perhaps John hoped that his question would stir Jesus to come and release him from prison.
I would like you to return to the illustration I started this sermon with. Imagine that you answered (c) Ask them for some proof of identity and a search warrant before you will let them into your premises ?
The alleged officer then says, "Well, yesterday I did some completed some reports about a drugs raid that we did last week. The day before I liaised with Customs officials about a consignment we are expecting from Holland and, in the afternoon met with an informant.
That wouldn't be the response you would have liked or expected, is it ? You would, rightly, have expected him to produce an Identity card and a warrant to search your house.
John probably expected a different response from Jesus. He would have liked Jesus to answer 'Yes', but Jesus did not answer the question so directly. He probably confirmed what John had already been told when he listed what he had done. But the Scriptures foretold each of these things would be done by the Messiah. Often the deeds listed in these passages were accompanied by predictions of the judgment of God.
Jesus pointed to his healing and life-restoring miracles. He did not give promises but clearly observable evidence - evidence that reflected the predicted ministry of the Messiah. In Jesus' review of his works, he used an ascending scale of impressive deeds, ending with the dead raised and the good news preached to the poor. In this way, Jesus reminded John that these were the things predicted of the Messiah in the Scriptures. It is almost as if Jesus ticks of the items that were found on the Messiah's job description. Matthew, of course, wrote his gospel for Jews to prove that Jesus is the Christ and refers, directly and indirectly, to the Old Testament more than all the other gospels added together.
From Chapter 4 Matthew has recorded Jesus' teaching, and his healing of all sicknesses including blindness, paralysis, leprosy ( better translated 'skin diseases' ), and deafness. Jesus is fulfilling the prophecy of Isaiah, written over 700 years before Jesus.
Isaiah 35 : 5 Then will the eyes of the blind be opened and the ears of the deaf unstopped. 6 Then will the lame leap like a deer, and the mute tongue shout for joy.
In Chapter 10:18ff he raised a dead girl to life. This is to fulfil another prophecy of Isaiah. This one includes words about God's judgment.
61:19 But your dead will live; their bodies will rise. You who dwell in the dust, wake up and shout for joy. Your dew is like the dew of the morning; the earth will give birth to her dead. 20 Go, my people, enter your rooms and shut the doors behind you; hide yourselves for a little while until his wrath has passed by. 21 See, the LORD is coming out of his dwelling to punish the people of the earth for their sins. The earth will disclose the blood shed upon her; she will conceal her slain no longer.
God's judgment will follow. For now people will enjoy his blessing through Jesus. The healings and miracles of Jesus show His compassion and mission. He healed people because he cared about them. He healed people to show that he had come to defeat sin. Sickness and death came into the world as a result of the sin of humankind. Jesus healed and raised people from death to show that he has the power to undo the effects of sin, both physically and spiritually.
John would have been aware of this and, perhaps, still hoped that Jesus would set him free. However, Jesus did not mean that he had come to literally let people out of a physical prison. He came to free people from sin, something that can imprison everyone. His mission was to free people from the consequences of their sin by receiving the punishment for the sins of the world as he was crucified. His mission was to free people from the power of sin so that, by His indwelling Spirit believers are free to follow God's ways.
Peter Yakovlevich Vins wrote his family from his Russian prison in 1936. He asked them to pray that Jesus would empower him so he could be a faithful witness for his Lord. Then he concluded with this statement: "It is better to be with him in prison that at liberty without him."
Whilst many of the early church were poor, including numerous slaves, Jesus didn't come to make them and, indeed anyone, materially rich. He came to enrich the lives of those who realize their own spiritual bankruptcy and who approach him in penitence and faith.
Jesus did not want discouragement and doubt to ensnare John so he sought to encourage him. 6 "Blessed is the man who does not fall away on account of me." The word translated 'fall away' can mean 'stumble' or 'trip up'. Jesus is saying that John , and everyone should not let their presuppositions get in the way of discovering who he really is. Perhaps that is appropriate this Christmas. Many people might say that they are Christians, even that they believe that Jesus is the 'Son of God', yet they know little about him and will not come to find out more about him. Our duty and our joy is to find out more about Jesus for ourselves, and to share our discovery with others, even when things are difficult. Some of our journey may, like John, involve questioning our faith, even doubting certain things. But if our faith cannot be questioned it cannot be real or true. Indeed the questioning of our faith can strengthen and deepen our trust in Jesus.
The second part of this passage focuses on John the Baptist. Bearing in mind that John's mission was to prepare the way for Jesus, this will lead us back to Jesus, and also people's response to him.
Jesus asked the crowd two rhetorical questions about John, both expecting a negative answer. 7 "What did you go out into the desert to see? A reed swayed by the wind? 8 If not, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? No, those who wear fine clothes are in kings' palaces.
John had been in the wilderness or desert. He was not easily influenced, like a reed blown by the wind. Indeed, he had been so strong in speaking out against Herod's immorality that he had been imprisoned. This is a reminder that the proclamation of God's ways will not be popular or easy. It will not always bring wealth and prosperity. We read this in Matthew 3: 4 John's clothes were made of camel's hair, and he had a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey.
It has been said that John was the last of the Old Testament prophets. John belonged to the age of the old covenant, which was preparatory to Christ. A prophet is someone who declares the words of God to a particular situation. So, it might be said that good Biblical preaching is prophetic in that it is proclaiming and applying God's will to people today.
The Jews believed that a prophet like Elijah would come immediately before the Messiah. This belief came from Malachi 4:5 "See, I will send you the prophet Elijah before that great and dreadful day of the LORD comes.
We have just had the first two rounds of the F.A. Cup when non-league and lower league sides play one another before the bigger clubs join in round 3. I would like you to think of Stan, Stan the poster man, whose job it is to put up posters advertising his non-leagues side's F.A.Cup tie. He travels through all of the town, working hard, putting up posters anywhere he possibly can in all weathers, enduring ridicule as he does so. When his team win their tie and go through to a lucrative match with a Premiership side, who gets the recognition ? Stan, who advertised the tie or John, who played at centre forward and scored the winning goal ?
John stood on the threshold of the new order as it's herald without entering into it. This is why Jesus said 11 I tell you the truth: Among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist; yet he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
Jesus was saying it is greater to participate in God's kingdom than to announce it.
'Least in the kingdom' reminds us that we have to humble ourselves like a little child (18:4) to enter into God's kingdom. Yet even the least in the kingdom has advantages over John the Baptist. John could only call people to repent and point them to the fact that a Saviour was coming. He could and did not die for their sins or give the Holy Spirit.
In contrast every Christian, by definition, knows of what Jesus has done, has received His Spirit and can proclaim this to others in a fuller way than John the Baptist.
Isaiah, Malachi, John the Baptist and all the other prophets of the Old Covenant desperately looked forward to the New Covenant that Jesus brought in. As those who have received this New Covenant through God's undeserved favour we should be bowled over with gratitude and excitement because, in God's eyes, we have a greater status. Not because we are better people than John was, but because God sees Jesus in us with all his beauty and perfection.
Jesus whom we celebrate this Christmas, and, indeed every day, is the Messiah, God and man. A baby sent to earth to die in our place on a cross. We are enormously privileged to have had our eyes opened by Jesus, to be enabled to walk in God's way, to have heard the good news, to have been raised from spiritual death to life lived in a right relationship with God. Let us respond to that free gift by following Jesus and telling others about His good news.

Next week, the Masters will begin just across the state line in Augusta, Ga. The world's No. 1 player at the moment and the betting favorite to be wearing the green jacket is Columbia's own Dustin Johnson, a Coastal alum.
Suddenly, the nation's 24th- most populous state looks like it could be leading the nation in Trophies Per Capita. Talk about your underdog stories. Pretty soon, the Legislature is going to have to replace the crescent on the state flag with a crown.
This is new territory for South Carolina, which doesn't often get to see itself near the top of the various "Best of" rankings for states in area's like education and health care. In the sports world, though, there's no denying the Palmetto State is the Best of the Best at the moment.
Now, its blue blood neighbor North Carolina seems to be standing in for South Carolina as a punching bag. After South Carolina moved the Confederate flag from the State House grounds in July of 2015, opening the way for NCAA events to return to the state, North Carolina stepped into the political muck we Sandlappers had just extricated ourselves from, passing House Bill 2 and setting off a series of events that have cost the state in both reputation and revenue.
On March 23 of 2016, North Carolina passed HB2 in an effort to reverse a Charlotte ordinance that had extended some rights for gay and transgender Americans. In the fallout from that decision, the state saw the NBA All-Star Game skip its planned turn in Charlotte, the ACC move its championship football game and the NCAA move an NCAA Regional site from Greensboro, N.C., to Greenville, S.C.
That last move had more than a symbolic impact on the role changes taking place between the Carolinas. It was in Greenville that No. 7 seed South Carolina upset No. 2 seed Duke in front of a hugely pro-Gamecocks crowd on the way to this weekend's Final Four.
And, not for nothing, former Florida quarterback, Heisman Trophy winner and media sensation Tim Tebow will begin his minor league baseball career with the Columbia Fireflies next week. Most Marches, that would be the lead story in the state, but not this one.

Dissertation humboldt universität

dissertation humboldt universität. How far does reason guide them, or their madness err? "What these cases show is that the mere organic retentiveness of a man need bear no definite relation to his other mental powers. If we would reflect upon the mental life of humanity we must consider the individual mind in relation to the world of mankind. I believe this to be the reason why a love for books is so little considered among the modern qualifications of librarianship; it appears in acts, not in words; it cannot be ascertained by asking questions. The worst is, you are no better off, if you fail than if you succeed. The surviving ourselves in our pictures is but a poor compensation—it is rather adding mockery to calamity. The system of Tycho Brahe was every day less and less talked of, till at last it was forgotten altogether. _Shakespeare_: 'Tis in my memory locked, And you yourself shall keep the key of it. We should expect, then, that the collapse of strained attitudes, with the great change in feeling-tone which this must carry with it, would deeply affect the respiration. According to Plato, the Deity formed the soul of the world out of that substance which is always the same, that is, out of Species or Universals; out of that which is always different, that is, out of corporeal substances; and out of a substance that was of a middle nature between these, which it is not easy to understand what he meant by. But the determining conditions include, in addition to a sequence of sensations, _a higher psychical factor_, namely, an apperceptive process or assignment of _meaning_ to the sensations. There was no sign of wolf or tiger, no footprint of kidnapper. This soul of the world was itself a God, the greatest of all the inferior, and created deities; of an essence dissertation humboldt universität that was indissoluble, by any power but by that of him who made it, and which was united to the body of the world, so as to be inseparable by every force, but his who joined them, from the exertion of which his goodness secured them. It must be viewed, not as a History or Account of Sir Isaac Newton's Astronomy, but chiefly as an additional illustration of those Principles in the Human Mind which Mr. Some of them have scores of dialects, spoken by tribes wandering over the widest areas. They are the wise and the virtuous chiefly, a select, though, I am afraid, but a small party, who are the real and steady admirers of wisdom and virtue. (Cicero de finibus, lib. The man is audible and visible. Great painters never attribute their talent to their eyes. As Aristotle observes, that the early Pythagoreans, who first studied arithmetic, explained all things by the properties of numbers; and Cicero tells us, that Aristoxenus, the musician, found the nature of the soul to consist in harmony. {220} CHAPTER VIII. In the eighteenth century there arose a school, associated with the names of the third Lord Shaftesbury and Francis Hutcheson, the Scotch philosopher, which became known as the "moral sense" school, widely different from the old hedonistic philosophers, since they were the first to assert the existence of a distinctively ethical, as opposed to dissertation humboldt universität a merely pleasurable, feeling. In the illustration given, he would not have meant that the questioner had a well-defined expectant idea of another explanation of the Hindoo's astonishment. Images were piled on heaps, as well as opinions and facts, the ample materials for poetry or prose, to which the bold hand of enthusiasm applied its torch, and kindled it into a flame. A little boy of four years wandered to some cacao bushes not more than fifty yards from the house, and there all trace of him was lost. Nor is this all; if he live, move and have his being in the commotion, he will be forced to repress mirthful impulses and to show the hurrying figures about him a certain respect, since any generous indulgence in the joys of laughter would be likely to bring him into unpleasant collisions. According to James, "The Stream of Thought flows on: but most of its segments fall into the bottomless abyss of oblivion."[58] "Retention means _liability_ [the italics are the author's] to recall, and it means nothing more than such liability. The second was necessary in order to render him anxious to be really fit. I trust that you are with me so far; for I am about to make a further advance that experience teaches me is very difficult, except for librarians. His eye, his mind, his hand was cast in the mould of grace and delicacy. In common life long compounds are rare, while in the native Mexican poetry each line is often but one word. It is remarkable that the last interval of convalescence, commencing about five years ago, continued for more than three years, which I attribute to the absence of causes of irritation, more delicate and attentive treatment, and constant resources of various amusements. Thus, we are told that when, on the 429th day, she was asked to find "auntie" in the dark she at first stood still and silent. Now let the people repose during the night; at sunrise there shall be a feast; then you shall take the bride in marriage. I only contend then that we are naturally interested in the welfare of others in the same sense in which we are said to be interested in our own future welfare. Elaborate rituals were constructed, including celebration of mass and impressive prayers, adjurations and exorcisms of the person to undergo the trial and of the materials used in it, and the most implicit faith was inculcated in the interposition of God to defend the right and to punish guilt.[878] The administration of the ordeal being thus reserved for priestly hands, the Church acquired a vastly increased influence as the minister of justice, to say nothing of the revenues thence arising, and the facility with which ecclesiastics could thus defend themselves when legally assailed by their turbulent flocks. There are also convulsive fits, in which the patients see without hearing, and _vice versa_. The accused then descended and the judge addressed the customary adjuration to the balance:— "Thou, O balance, art called by the same name as holy law (dharma); thou, O balance, knowest what mortals do not comprehend. The appeal to chance, as practised in India, bears several forms, substantially identical in principle. In one case an old man and his daughter, five months gone in pregnancy, died under the lash. It is translated by Ximenez "libro del comun," by Brasseur "livre national." The word _popol_ is applied to something held in common ownership by a number; thus food belonging to a number is _popol naim_; a task to be worked out by many, _popol zamah_; the native council where the elders met to discuss public affairs was _popol tzih_, the common speech or talk. It may be argued, indeed, that these codes and laws assume the existence of torture, and therefore make no reference to it, but such an argument would not hold good with respect to the books of practice which shrewd and experienced lawyers commenced at that time to draw up for the guidance of courts in the unsettled period of conflict between the ancient feudal customs and the invading civil law. The reason is, his embellishments in his own walk grow out of the subject by natural association; that is, beauty gives birth to kindred beauty, grandeur leads the mind on to greater grandeur. In his missionary trip to the East, finding the Soldan deaf to his proselyting eloquence, he proposed to test the truth of their respective religions by entering a blazing pile in company with some imams, who naturally declined the perilous experiment. It is by means of such repetitions only, that Music can exert those peculiar powers of imitation which distinguish it, and in which it excels all the other Imitative Arts. It is not in his personal emotions, the emotions provoked by particular events in his life, that the poet is in any way remarkable or interesting. —– CHAP. The selection of subject headings may have to be made with due regard to the use that a catalogue is likely to receive. Yet the appropriate emotional reaction, evoked by the association of an object with such a conventional valuation or sentiment, may be just as keenly and genuinely felt as though it resulted from the awakening of some instinctive or innate law of our nature. It is hard luck, indeed, that a librarian, who with the majority of his staff has striven long and well to earn the public good-will, should see it forfeited by the thoughtlessness or ill-temper of some one of his staff. He recovered, and his character appeared much improved by his severe visitation. The medical swing, for instance, is stated as having been useful, in some violent cases of mania; but this was even then soon laid aside as objectionable; but it would be worse than useless now, because, under a system which does not cultivate the habitual exercise of the vindictive passions, cases in which it was of use, no longer exist. For let an impression which I received yesterday be in every possible respect the same with the one which I received to-day, still the one impression is not the other; they are two distinct impressions existing at different times, and by the supposition associated with very different circumstances. This general connection between the pursuit of any object and our habitual interest in it will also account for the well-known observation that the affection of parents to children is the strongest of all others, frequently even overpowering self-love itself. The man who associates chiefly with the wise and the virtuous, though he may not himself become either wise or virtuous, cannot help conceiving a certain respect at least for wisdom and virtue; and the man who associates chiefly with the profligate and the dissolute, though he may not himself become profligate and dissolute, must soon lose, at least, all his original abhorrence of profligacy and dissolution of manners. No definition of value is possible, or at any rate satisfactory, that does not imply the judgment, choice, or assertion of a valuer in the act of valuing. The poet, according to this view, sings because he cannot help singing; the artist paints solely to satisfy the creative longing within him; the musician composes for the same reason. As his conduct, however, is the effect of weakness, not principle, we are far from bestowing upon it any thing that approaches to complete approbation. [Sidenote: _No distinction of Sexes in Souls._] To proceed therefore if we be naturally defective, the Defect must be either in Soul or Body. Hicks's expressions that I desire to emphasize it at the close of what I am saying. He is pert, raw, ignorant, conceited, ridiculous, shallow, contemptible. A community's moral and intellectual status is not simply the sum of that of its component members. Neither is the description of vice more complete. _Prefaces to most Books, are like Prolocutors to Puppet-Shows, they come first to tell you what Figures are to be dissertation humboldt universität presented, and what Tricks they are to play. Since we are here concerned with these sensations as provocatives of laughter, it behoves us to look rather closely at their feeling-tones. The syllables which composed them would, for this purpose, sometimes be improperly lengthened, and sometimes improperly shortened; and though no unmeaning words were made use of, yet an unmeaning syllable would sometimes be stuck to the beginning, to the end, or into the middle of a word. My authorities do not furnish evidence that the Cakchiquels used the foot as the unit of measurement, differing in this from the Mayas. These interruptions of the ordinary respiratory movements involve an unusually energetic action of the large muscles by which the chest is expanded, _viz._, those which secure the contraction and so the descent of the dome-shaped diaphragm, and those by the action of which the ribs are elevated. I am afraid that you will compare this address very unfavorably with the celebrated chapter on snakes in Iceland, because whereas the author of that was able to announce the non-existence of his subject in six words, it has taken me a good many thousand. Thus it is widely believed that the fruit known as the white zapote (_Sapota achras_, in Maya, _choch_) will not ripen of itself. The bundles of thought are, as it were, untied, loosened from a common centre, and drift along the stream of fancy as it happens. It is therefore of some use to separate these ideas, or to shew that there is no foundation in reason or the nature of things for a very strong prejudice which has been conceived to arise immediately out of them. If the densities of Jupiter and Saturn were the same with that of the Earth, the periodic times of their several Satellites would be shorter than by observation they are found to be. It is true that an ancient collection of laws asserts that the code of Dyvnwal-moel-mud, a British king, prescribed the ordeals of battle, of hot iron, and of boiling water, and that Hoel in his legislation considered them unjust, abrogated them, and substituted the proof by men, or _raith_.[300] This legend, however, is very apocryphal. They suggest, too, how much more the evil inclinations menace the healthy vigour of our mirth than the good, even though these should be cultivated up to the confines of the saintly.

Sudden Dota 2 Update Wreaks Havoc On Qualifier Tournament
Illustration: Dota 2 (Valve)
The North American open qualifiers for the 2018 Dota 2 International were off to the races yesterday, with dozens of games being played to determine who would take a regional spot. And then along came a patch containing Dota 2's new battle royale mode, and everything fell apart.
A Dota 2 patch pushed yesterday included the game's anticipated Underhollow mode, and while it's unclear whether it was the sudden influx of players or something breaking within Dota itself, the currently ongoing North American open qualifiers for The International 2018 had to be put on hold. Players were unable to connect or play matches, and within a few hours, tournament organizer FaceIt announced it would have to replay the entirety of the open qualifier due to how many games and outcomes were affected.
The Underhollow is a new game mode that combines elements of Smash TV, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, and roguelikes into a Dota royale (with cheese) concoction. It's part of the buy-to-play Battle Pass for this year's International and has been hotly anticipated, so it stands to reason that when the game mode went live, a significant number of folks would log on to play it. Combine this with the tendency of patches in any game to have unintended side effects that might need some on-the-fly tweaking, and you have a recipe for potential disaster.
The event this patch ended up interrupting was the North American open qualifiers for The International. Dota's multi-million dollar tournament is made up of 16 teams, eight of whom have already been invited based on their achievements in the pro circuit. The other eight earn their spot through regional qualifiers, which have their own direct invites of teams who still qualified through pro circuit rules but didn't have enough points to make the direct invite cut. And to fill out the regional qualifiers, there is the open qualifiers: a gauntlet of Dota hell where anyone can sign up and play, reserved for game night buddies, commentators, average Joes and Janes, and any team that broke the Dota pro circuit's bylaws by say, switching players outside of the roster lock period.
When the patch went live, it was in the dead middle of the first set of open qualifiers, and all of Dota 2 went to shit. Players were reporting being unable to match with games, the game coordinator (Dota's matchmaking service) kept failing to connect, and for some—myself included—the actual Play Dota button simply disappeared.
This would understandably affect an ongoing qualifier, where random hiccups in the game coordinator could lead to teams not being able to connect and receiving an auto-DQ, or having players booted from matches mid-game. Several players reported issues with wins not being recorded properly by FaceIt, the tournament organizer on behalf of Valve. Soon Milos "Mikey" Nedeljkovic had to release a statement.
The entire open qualifier, from the starting round, is to be replayed. As Nedeljkovic wrote in a post on the Dota 2 subreddit:
Since a lot of teams suffered in 1st round because of this and lost their opportunity to play, we decided to move the NA open qualifiers for tomorrow where everyone will be able to signup again and play again from the 1st round. Sorry for the situation everyone, but this was completely out of our control :/.
This understandably sucks for everyone involved. The players have to repeat a grueling number of games, ones that many had likely set aside time for since it's an open qualifier and a good few of these folks likely have day jobs and other responsibilities. It sucks for FaceIt, having to reorganize and re-run a bunch of games. And it sucks for the content producers, streamers, and spectators, who all had to ditch the normal 24-hour glut of qualifier content due to the game coordinator crash.
All of this is to say, how was this not something Valve anticipated? Patches being wonky is really not unheard of in any game, and the dates for the qualifiers were known for a while because Valve were the ones who set them. Yes, Thursday is Dota patch day, but considering Valve has made the exception once already after a patch messed with a tournament, they would be able to delay the release of its big battle royale until a time where teams weren't playing qualifier games crucial to their careers.

Almaz Raises $102M for Fund II – Filing
Joanna Glasner
Almaz Capital, a Russia-focused technology venture investor with offices in Moscow and Silicon Valley, has raised $102 million for its second fund, according to a securities filing. However, just one of the firm's two founding partners remains on board.
Alexander Galitsky, a serial entrepreneur and venture investor who co-founded Almaz in 2007, is listed on the firm website as managing partner. Also listed in the filing as executive officers in the firm are Geoffrey Baehr, a former partner at US Venture Partners; Pavel Bogdanov, a former partner at early stage investor Russian Technologies; and Charles Ryan, chairman of Russia-focused alternative asset investor UFG Asset Management.
Absent from the lineup is Peter Loukianoff, an Almaz co-founder and former managing partner. The firm announced in September that Loukianoff sold his managing interest in the firm, retained a passive minority interest, and was leaving to "pursue new opportunities." Loukianoff will continue to participate in the investment committee and serve on the board of Almaz portfolio company nScaled, the firm said. Previously, Loukianoff had sued Galitsky over Fund II, alleging that his former partner had begun fundraising under the Almaz name without including him.
Almaz could not be reached for comment regarding the latest fund filing, so it is unclear whether the sum raised represents a final close. The firm's first fund, a $90 million vehicle, closed in 2008, according to Thomson Reuters. Investors included Cisco and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.
The firm has had some exits so far. It had a small stake in Russian language search engine Yandex, which went public on Nasdaq in 2011 and is currently valued around $10 billion. Partners also backed Qik, a tool for sharing videos over mobile devices, which sold to Skype for $150 million in early 2011.

Vice President urges calm as Tanzania's leader still unseen
FILE - In this July 11, 2020 file photo, Tanzania's President John Magufuli speaks at the national congress of his ruling Chama cha Mapinduzi (CCM) party in Dodoma, Tanzania. Opposition politicians on Wednesday March 10 2021, are raising questions about the health of Tanzania's COVID-19-denying president John Magufuli, as he has not been seen in public for more than a week and there has been no responce to questions from The Associated Press about Magufulis health and whereabouts.(AP Photo, File)
NAIROBI – As Tanzania's president has not been seen in public for more than two weeks, the East African country's vice president on Monday sought to reassure the nation, saying it was "normal" for human beings to suffer colds and other illnesses.
Addressing a public rally in Tanzania's Tanga region, Samia Suluhu offered no update on the health or whereabouts of President John Magufuli even as she said she had been sent by him to calm the East African nation.
"I want to assure you Tanzania is safe. It is normal for a human being to be tested, often for colds and flu, for anything," Suluhu said. "I want to tell you that if there is an important time for Tanzanians to remain united, it is now. It is not the time to listen to information from outside the country which will confuse or divide us. Let all unite as Tanzanians and continue working to build this country."
Her comments deepen the mystery surrounding the health of Magufuli, a populist leader who is often seen in public and makes frequent appearances on the state broadcaster. But his last public appearance was on Feb. 27 at the swearing-in ceremony of his chief of staff in the commercial capital of Dar es Salaam.
While Magufuli has not been seen in public, speculation has swirled over his health status as some, including his main rival, assert that he is suffering from COVID-19 and hiding it.
Magufuli is one of Africa's most prominent COVID-19 skeptics. Last year he said the disease had been eradicated from Tanzania by three days of national prayer. He mocked COVID-19 tests, discouraged Tanzanians from wearing masks, and expressed doubts on the efficacy of vaccines.
But last month Magufuli acknowledged his country had a coronavirus problem amid reports of a rising number of deaths related to breathing problems and days after the death of the vice president of the semi-autonomous island region of Zanzibar, whose political party had earlier said he had COVID-19.
Last week Tanzania's prime minister insisted Magufuli was well and busy with his duties. That explanation did little to calm anxiety.
Police over the weekend began arresting people discussing Magufuli's health on social media and other forums. It's not clear what those arrested will be charged with. Police confirmed they had arrested at least one man on Saturday.
Opposition leader Tundu Lissu, who has openly questioned Magufuli's absence in many Twitter posts, alleged three others had been arrested by Monday, including a 73-year-old man in a desperate bid by the government to stop the public from asking questions about the president's health.
Lissu is able to freely comment on the president's health because he lives in Belgium.

With years of experience providing end-to-end logistics services for the Robotics sector, Rhenus Lupprians offers high-quality reliable logistics services across all sectors. In the past we have delivered, installed and relocated robotics for the retail, printing, healthcare and telecommunications industries and more. Our logistics teams are highly trained in handling and installing machines and robotics. In the past, we have worked on airport scanners, x-ray machines, automated medical dispensing cabinets and many more categories of equipment across these business sectors.
Rhenus Lupprians operates according to industry best practices. This is achieved through continuous learning and development. Our staff undergo regular training so they are equipped to provide services on the latest technologies like 3D printers installation.
Rhenus Lupprians offers the very best security available during storage and transport periods, as we use advanced and specialised handling equipment to carry out logistics procedures.
Our service begins the moment the robotics arrive in our warehouses. This can range from final mile delivery to complex installations and wide-scale rollouts. Prior to this, the assets are stored in our high tech warehouses. With high bay racking, a block-stacking area and internal mezzanines, the warehouses are perfect for short or long-term storage.
A warehouse management system based on RFI and barcodes technology enables high-quality inventory management services, ensuring the robotics in storage flow correctly through the logistics chain to delivery.
Prior to deliver and installation, all the necessary configurations and assembly of the product can be completed at the pre-staging areas within the warehouses. This allows our engineers to check the working order of the product, and ensure everything is fully functional prior to deliver into customer. Once all customer requirements have been completed, the machines are prepped for delivery and installation.
Rhenus Lupprians vehicles are built specifically for the delivery of delicate technologies like robotics. With air ride suspension and large tail boards, the assets are safe throughout the journey. It goes without saying, our installation crew and on-board team take the utmost care while in transit to ensure your equipment arrives safely at its destination.
The installation period includes onsite delivery and unpacking of the products. As Rhenus Lupprians has a fleet of oversize vehicles, the robotics equipment does not have to be disassembled and can be delivered in one piece, providing increased flexibility in the delivery process. Specialist handling equipment is used for safe pickup and transportation of the product when on site. This equipment allows Rhenus Lupprians to move heavy product across floors without causing damage, and even navigating stairs if required.
Following this, Rhenus Lupprians undertakes the positioning and final installation process, which involves any additional onsite services, such as connecting the equipment to power and local area networks (LAN). Once installed, and prior to sign-off, our knowledgeable technicians can provide end-user instructions so the customer has all the information they need.
As an end-to-end service provider, Rhenus Lupprians' work continues long after the installation. We also provide periodic maintenance and software updates where necessary, helping to extend the life cycle of the equipmen.
When the machines do reach the end of their operational use, or when they become surplus to requirements, we're always on hand to collect them for recycling. We carefully remove and transport all assets to the appropriate service team for further processing, recycling or refurbishment in line with WEEE regulations.

The Tuscany athleisure shoe for women offers a new, sparkling look from Drew. Tuscany shoes are walking shoes with added depth that can accommodate prescribed foot orthoses.
The Cloudster, from Swiss footwear company On, features a very stiff flex and a slightly rockered speedboard, which keep the foot in a natural position while minimizing the loaded flex on the foot. A four-way adaptive-fit stretch material across the toe box allows for a natural toe splay.

"It was better than and different from the other majors I had looked at and in line with my aspiration to be an attorney. I went back for my master's because I wanted to learn more about the different theories and applications of those theories to our current criminal justice system and society. I also pursued my master's because I wanted to make sure that I would be marketable in this crazy economy in case I didn't like being an attorney."
But getting a law degree was in the cards. "I have always known I was going to be a lawyer," says Misty. "There were definitely times in my life when it wasn't my main focus and I was probably going in the opposite direction, but I always knew that's what I would be. I can't say for sure what led me to it, but my great-grandmother watching Columbo, Murder She Wrote, Perry Mason, and Matlock like clockwork every day while I was growing up probably had something to do with it."
The experience of being a Crusader also kept Misty pointed toward her future. "The takeaway is that being in the Crusade made college mandatory and real at a very young age," she says. "It was never an if, but always a when." In high school, the message intensified. "Kalomo Vanterpool, the Advisor at Hope, reignited the flame of 'Yes, you are going to college,'" she says. "Being able to participate in college fairs and other events that showed that there was a life after Hope High School was a major game changer for a lot of us, and I know for a fact it was because of Kalomo's efforts."
Misty achieved success in her college coursework despite some initial uncertainty. "The best thing about my college experience was being in class and realizing that I actually did get it," she says. "College can be terrifying, and we are always our own worst critics, so many times I second-guessed myself but was pleasantly surprised to find out that I was right the first time around."
The process of receiving a College Crusade scholarship presented Misty with an unexpected obstacle to surmount as a teenaged mother. She was surprised to learn that her decision to have a child required her to appeal a Crusade scholarship policy that was in force at the time. "It was hard for me to understand," she says. "Here I was about to graduate high school. I'd received acceptance letters from all eight colleges I applied to and got waitlisted for Harvard, and I had to appeal to explain why I deserved a scholarship because I broke a pledge I had made in third grade. I was very upset, but I appealed and the scholarship was given to me. The process taught me that in order to get what you need you may have to endure adversity but that doesn't mean you give up." she adds. "It means you remain firm in your convictions and let the chips fall where they may."
Misty volunteers her time on behalf of young people. "My volunteer work mostly involves youth who are in the situations that I was in as a teen – pregnancy and DCYF," she says. "I am on the Board for Communities for People and for Nowell Leadership Academy. My special interest at this moment is self-investment. It makes your life more enjoyable and improves the lives of those around you."
Misty wants Crusaders to know that self-investment starts now. She recommends two books: Getting Things Done, by David Allen, and No Excuses: The Power of Self Discipline, by Brian Tracy. "You should read these two books yesterday," she says. "They will help you organize all aspects of your life and make you more efficient. Another thing: always ask the question. Chances are other people have the same question but if you ask it, you command the room and remain engaged because the teacher is talking directly to you. Asking questions leads to a deeper understanding and better engagement. Finally, stop in and see your professors during office hours, if for nothing else than being sure they know your face. It can make the difference between B-plus and an A-minus."

Cleaning and sanitizing the apartment is an important routine to maintain, since it keeps the home looking its best, and you, healthy.
Cleaning tools may be used for cleaning, but they are not capable of self-cleaning. Meaning, they can trap dirt and odor-causing bacteria if not properly cared for. Your cleaning and sanitizing tools will sustain longevity if washed, which means you won't have to replace them as often.
Constant sweeping of the floors will cause the broom bristles to become very dirty. The struggle to keep the floors clean is very real, even when sweeping on a daily basis. To keep your broom lasting longer, it needs some deep cleaning every now and then.
Remove grime and loose particles by vacuuming the bristles with a round brush. Then, immerse the broom head (straw or synthetic) into a bucket of warm water and dish soap. After, rinse thoroughly and hang it upside down to dry.
Splayed bristles? Soak in warm water for about 30 seconds, then tie a rubber band at the bottom of the bristles and dry upside down for 48 hours.
Every four months you should replace your mop head. However, you can do something to extend the life of it. To sanitize a microfiber mop head, place it in the wash on the hottest temperature setting and add some mild detergent.
If you're washing multiple mop heads at once, place them in mesh bags to keep them from knotting together. Boost the clean by adding a cup of baking soda to the load. Refrain from using fabric softener and dryer sheets, as these items will leave a weird coating on the fibers, lowering its quality.
Sponge mop heads require a different cleaning process. Soak the sponge in a bucket of hot water and vinegar for 30 minutes.
Dry microfiber and sponge heads outside, preferably in direct sunlight. Or, tumble-dry on low for microfiber mop heads.
The vacuum can get dusty real fast, inside and out. Before you start scrubbing, make sure the appliance is unplugged. When dealing with a bag-less vacuum, empty contents and then rinse container with mild, soapy water. Let it air-dry before you reassemble to avoid mold. For vacuums with bags, dump full bag and wipe down insides with a dry cloth.
Make sure to remove hair and dust from attachments, and then wipe down the outside with a damp cloth and suds.
Let's be honest here – how often do any of us think about cleaning the toilet brush? You know the brush is nasty, but did you know the cleaning process is easy? Wipe the wand with a disinfecting wipe and pour about two cups of bleach into the bowl. Submerge the bristles for an hour, rinse and air-dry.
Lambswool or feathered, both are essentially sanitized the same way. Shake off the remnants before placing the duster into a bucket of warm, slightly soapy water. Move the duster around to remove particles. Gently wring out the duster, and then rinse under a faucet until the soap is gone. Hang to dry.
After the wash, run your fingers through the feathers and fibers to give it shape again.

2009 Golden Globe Nominations: The Hollywood Fetishist Press Association
The Golden Globes nominations are out (Check out the TV specific list here, or the full list here), and provided you have no expectation of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association being logical in their selections they're about what you would expect. So, in other words, they're kind of ridiculous.
For the most part, the nominations are driven by four separate impulses, all of which are almost like fetishes that the HFPA (who are mysterious and generally not very reputable) refuses to give up year after year. Their desire, at the end of the day, is to create nominees that bring in audiences and that provide them a false sense of credibility: after all, if every A-list Hollywood star who happened to be in a movie this year gets nominated, who dares to question what the Golden Globes aren't connected with popular culture?
Of course, when it comes to both film television there's much more involved than popular culture, so let's take a look at the three main impulses of the HFPA (on the TV side, at least), and then after the jump offer a bit more analysis.
The "Star" Fetish
If you've been on a hit show before, your chances of being nominated skyrocket. Julianna Margulies, nominated for the Good Wife, spent years on E.R. Courtney Cox, nominated for Cougar Town, was on a little show called Friends. Edie Falco, nominated for Nurse Jackie, was on another little show called The Sopranos. These aren't always undeserving nominees (I don't entirely disprove of any of these candidates, although Cox is not even close to the best thing about Cougar Town), but they are always there as much for their previous fame as they are for their current role.
The "New" Fetish
The HFPA wants nothing more than to be relevant, but their idea of relevancy is fetishizing the new. Yes, Glee fit into the show's love for musicals (which, after all, kind of have their own category in the film awards), but it was also something new and shiny, which gets Lea Michele, Matthew Morrison, and Jane Lynch nominations. And Modern Family, without a single other nomination on the board, sneaks into Best Comedy Series – I'd say it's because you just can't separate anyone from the ensemble, but frankly it's just because the Globes only value it for its newness.
The "HBO" Fetish
When in doubt, you can presume that a HFPA member has turned their television to HBO: the network's pedigreed garnered a host of nominations which in some ways fly against the previous lenses, both positive (Big Love grabs three noms for series, Bill Paxton and Chloe Sevigny, Hung grabs acting nods for Thomas Jane and Jane Adams) and negative (Entourage picks up a best series not over Hung, Nurse Jackie, United States of Tara, Anna Paquin gets nominated over Katey Sagal, etc.). It's like HBO is their default, which isn't always a terrible thing (I really liked Hung) but does feel like a leftover impulse from the Sopranos era considering the breadth of great drama/comedy on other cable channels (Sons of Anarchy, Breaking Bad).
Now, there are other trends that come into effect, like their love of foreign nominees (Simon Baker for The Mentalist, for example) or how they love comeback stories (Teri Hatcher winning over Felicity Huffman/Marcia Cross for Desperate Housewives' first season), but for the most part you can boil the awards down to these three basic fetishes, which becomes a problem when a show doesn't fit into this mould. The Big Bang Theory is the kind of show that made a splash at the Emmys with Jim Parsons grabbing a nomination, but the HFPA were behind the trend on that one (missing it when it was new), and Parsons isn't a big star (or foreign), and the show isn't on HBO. Compare with Neil Patrick Harris, who might also be on a "not new" CBS series but whose role on How I Met Your Mother is a definitive comeback for a former child star – he was able to overcome his show being skipped/unnoticed, while Parsons isn't.
Overall, this is not the worst Golden Globe nominations ever: the usual imbalance of series/miniseries/tv movie that exists in the bizarre combined supporting acting categories went heavily in Series' favour, for example. And if there's one positive thing we can say about them, it's that they make the Emmy voters look like geniuses, and I guess that's a good thing…sort of? Anyways, let's throw in some extra thoughts in the bullets.
The Supporting Actor category is insane only because they're making voters choose between Michael Emerson and Neil Patrick Harris – it's like Sophie's Choice!
Speaking of Sophie's Choice, how will the voters ever choose between Meryl Streep and Meryl Streep? That's what she gets for being in two comedies in one year – diversify, Meryl!
Mad Men puts up its usual set of nominations (Series, Actor, Actress), but again January Jones grabs the nod over Elisabeth Moss. This isn't a situation where I disagree, per se, but it is a situation where January Jones used to be in movies where Elisabeth Moss did not.
With William Hurt, Glenn Close and Rose Byrne nominated for Damages, what does FX have to do in order to get any other nominations? No series nod for Damages was a bit of a surprise, and if even that show couldn't get into the race one wonders what chance Sons of Anarchy (with far more quality, but far less starpower) ever had.
Great to see John Lithgow get a nod for Supporting Actor on Dexter, but I'll be curious to see if he is submitted as credited (Guest Star) at the Emmys or placed into the supporting category: they went with the former for Jimmy Smits last year, but Lithgow might have had enough content to push the latter should Showtime decide to go that route.
In terms of the chances of the Glee nominees, Jane Lynch (for also co-starring in Julie and Julia this year) and Lea Michele (for both singing and being young, two more HFPA fetishes) are both heavily in contention. Matthew Morrison, however, has no chance whatsoever.

And, really… where are Kyle Chandler, Connie Britton and Zach Gilford from FNL?
I mean… seriously now.
It's not as if the Emmys will remember them either.
Really? I gotta disagree there. When I first started watching Mad Men, I recognized Moss from Girl, Interrupted (as well as a few other small parts she had in films when she was younger) and I hadn't seen Jones in hardly anything – and I see a LOT of movies every year. I think it's much less a case of TV vs. film and far more a case of plain vs. gorgeous.

I'd been looking for a range bag for quite awhile. So glad I looked at the Gun Goddess products. I was even more impressed after the Pro Shooter Range Bag bag was delivered. Quality product, quality construction with durability. Lots of room without being bulky! Way to go Gun Goddess.
Love my range bag.... excellent construction and plenty of room for all my gear. Every thing is all on one place now and I have room to spare!!
Pro Shooter Range bag with Class!
I just got my Pro Shooter Range bag and I love it! It is the perfect size for when I need to go to the range to practice or when I have to go qualify. I have compartments for multiple weapons to be stored safely ( it comes with 3 separate individual caring bags), compartments for ammunition, cleaning gear, ear and eye protection, and more. It is the perfect travel bag!
Nice bag with plenty of room.
This bag in leopard print is a very classy (not cheap looking) print. It has lots of room for three handguns and accessories. Well padded and nice sturdy zippers. Highly recommend!
This is perfect, was hesitant to order on line but so happy I finally did. It's everything I was looking for, has all the bells and whistles that the regular range bags you see in the stores have. However this has all the feminine style and color that you can't find in stores. And for this lady who always like different this is certainly it.
I love my new pink camo range bag!
Love this bag! Lots of pockets for all my stuff. Tough fabric with good strong zippers & velcro. So nice to put everything in 1 bag & it's still fairly lightweight. Would recommend this bag to anyone!
I love the bag. I'm a leopard nerd! I carry the LEOPARD Walther CCP . My gun and bag match perfectly. It's large enough to hold 3 pistols, ears and eyes. My iPad, phone and my makeup bag. Can I say that " I Love it"!
